The Justice Department has closed an investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen. This probe, initiated by former “weaponization” czar Ed Martin and concluded under Trump ally Jeanine Pirro, never progressed to a grand jury. The difficulty in identifying a clear criminal statute made prosecution unlikely. This investigation occurred amid calls from Donald Trump for inquiries into Biden and his administration, fueled by claims that autopen signatures concealed cognitive decline.

A Democratic congressman has urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate a grave allegation surfaced in the unsealed Epstein files. The congressman pointed to a witness who reported a girl, later deceased, claiming she was raped by both Trump and Epstein, and questioned why the Department of Justice (DOJ) had not interviewed this witness. This call follows Bondi’s contentious appearance before the House Judiciary Committee, where she faced accusations of dishonesty regarding the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein case. Lawmakers also expressed concern over the DOJ’s apparent monitoring of their searches within the Epstein files, a practice described as “creepy” by some.

The news that the US Justice Department is probing Minnesota Governor Walz and other officials, according to a source, is, frankly, a bit much to swallow, especially given the current state of affairs. It’s a gut punch when you consider the political climate, economic concerns, and what feels like an ongoing erosion of societal norms. It’s tough to ignore the feeling that everything is upside down.
This situation follows a pattern that seems increasingly familiar. We’ve seen, time and again, how institutions are being used, or at least perceived to be used, to target political opponents. The idea that this is all a carefully orchestrated smear campaign aimed at Walz isn’t far-fetched, considering the backdrop of political maneuvering and, let’s be honest, outright retaliation.… Continue reading
The Justice Department has launched an investigation into Minnesota officials, including Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, regarding an alleged conspiracy to obstruct federal immigration agents. The probe, stemming from statements made by the officials concerning the deployment of thousands of ICE and Border Patrol agents to the Minneapolis region, could result in subpoenas. The investigation is reportedly focusing on a federal statute that criminalizes conspiring to prevent federal officers from carrying out their duties through force or intimidation. Both Walz and Frey have denounced the federal presence, accusing agents of undermining public safety with aggressive tactics.

Stocks drop after DOJ opens criminal probe into Fed chair Jerome Powell, and the initial reaction seems a bit…understated, to put it mildly. We’re talking about a criminal investigation into the very person who steers the Federal Reserve, the entity that’s supposed to be the bedrock of our economic stability, and yet the market’s response is less a plummet and more a gentle dip. Many comments I’m seeing point out that, at least initially, the market showed remarkable resilience, even recovering some losses. This raises questions, doesn’t it?
The prevailing sentiment seems to be that a significant market drop wasn’t the immediate outcome.… Continue reading
House GOP asks DOJ to probe Biden autopen use to ‘void’ pardons, other actions – well, that’s certainly a headline that grabs your attention. It’s like something out of a political thriller, isn’t it? The core of the matter seems to be the House Republicans’ desire to have the Department of Justice investigate whether President Biden improperly used an autopen to sign pardons and potentially other official documents. The aim, if you can believe it, is to somehow “void” these actions. It’s a bold move, to say the least.
The immediate reaction is, of course, a healthy dose of skepticism. The very idea of undoing a presidential pardon is legally dicey, to put it mildly.… Continue reading
